As the city filed it
Rainberry Estates Inc. (the "Applicant") is the owner of the lands municipally known as 2433 Dufferin Street (the "Subject Site"). The Subject Site is currently vacant and located at the northeast corner of Dufferin Street and Hopewell Avenue. The Applicant originally applied for amendments to the former City of York Zoning By-law No. 1-83 and the City of Toronto Zoning By-law No. 569-2013 to permit the construction of a 5 storey (18.5 metre high) mixed use building with retail/commercial uses at grade (the "Zoning Application").

The Applicant also submitted a related application for Site Plan approval (the "Site Plan Application"). On November 28, 2017, the Applicant appealed the Zoning Application and the Site Plan Application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the "LPAT") due to City Council's failure to make a decision within the prescribed time periods under the Planning Act. On May 16, 2018, the Applicant submitted a revised proposal for a 9 storey (27 metre high plus mechanicals) mixed use building, to which City Council recommended in July 2018, that the City Solicitor attend the LPAT in opposition and to continue to negotiate with the Applicant. The LPAT hearing has been scheduled to commence on September 3, 2019. The purpose of this report is to request further instructions for the upcoming LPAT hearing with respect to a without prejudice "public" settlement proposal received from the Applicant on May 28, 2019 following negotiations with Planning staff. City Planning has been involved in the preparation of this report
